Hello all of you Coffee Geeks,
What a world we live in now.
Got a problem?
Go to Google and solve it (or in this case Coffeesnobs).
Im a newbie and have just taken delivery of my new Mazzer Mini grinder. Even though I expected something nice, I was staggered by its build quality and the overall robustness.
I have a reservation though and I havent even begun to address the sweep issue in the doser but I have removed the silly plastic tamper and SS finger guard in the doser.
I have been using for some years (albeit in extremely modest equipment) a blend and roast of beans that are extremely dark (read almost black) and very shiny with oil. Ive always liked the blend because its strong without too much bitterness. I accept the fact that when my Vibiemme arrives in the next few days that I might move on but at this stage I cant consider anything but my current choice.
Have a look at the photo of the hopper below... (I dont know why but I cant seem to post my photo?)
Anyway, the blend/roast is extremely oily and inside the hopper of the Mini theres a plastic circular (hut shaped) inverted cone structure to (I guess) stop fingers going into the grinder. There doesnt seem to be any way to remove it because it seems to be welded in for permanency.
Im concerned that the structure will make cleaning the hopper very difficult because coffee oil is extremely resilient in my experience. Im also concerned about other parts in the grinder that may accumulate oily residue.
Is there an answer to this or shouldnt I be too concerned?
Thanks
Tony
